    "abstract": "For low-pressure discharges, when the electron mean free path is larger or\ncomparable with the discharge length, the electron dynamics is essentially\nnonlocal. Moreover, the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) deviates\nconsiderably from a Maxwellian. Therefore, an accurate kinetic description of\nthe low-pressure discharges requires knowledge of the nonlocal conductivity\noperator and calculation of the nonMaxwellian EEDF. The previous treatments\nmade use of simplifying assumptions: a uniform density profile and a Maxwellian\nEEDF. In the present study a self-consistent system of equations for the\nkinetic description of nonlocal, nonuniform, nearly collisionless plasmas of\nlow-pressure discharges is derived. It consists of the nonlocal conductivity\noperator and the averaged kinetic equation for calculation of the nonMaxwellian\nEEDF. The importance of accounting for the nonuniform plasma density profile on\nboth the current density profile and the EEDF is demonstrated.",
